"Supreme Court Continues Block on Texas SB4 Immigration Law"

Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito extended an order pausing the enforcement of Texas' SB4 immigration law, which criminalizes unauthorized migration at the state level, on administrative grounds. The law allows Texas officials to detain and prosecute migrants for illegal entry and reentry, as well as order them to return to Mexico. The Biden administration has challenged the law, arguing that it conflicts with federal immigration laws and the Constitution. Governor Greg Abbott has defended SB4 as a necessary measure to deter illegal immigration, amid Texas' aggressive efforts to challenge federal immigration policies.
